On Monday, June 8, the family of 19 year old Tavin Price held their first rally on Crenshaw and Florence in order to raise community awareness about the teen’s death.

Price, 19, was shot on Florence Ave near Crenshaw for refusing to take off his red shoes. The teen was shot in front of his mother four times in both the back and chest. Members of the family said they are having a hard time coping with the death of their loved one.

“One breath at a time, it has been very difficult,” said Price’s cousin Chy Taylor. “We don’t know how to do, we are just doing.”

Family along with members of the community held a rally in the wake of the murder, handing out flyers and informing people on the streets of Crenshaw about the incident.
